MEMBER NEWS & EVENTS
THE TRAVELING WALL IN PLAINFIELD SEPTEMBER 18-21
The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall will arrive on Thursday, September 17 and be open to the public on Friday, September 18 through Sunday, September 20 . We are anticipating 5000+ visitors over the course of 3 days. Many of these visitors are veterans of the Vietnam War or family members. We also anticipate many active and retired military professionals.
The Wall is a 3/5 scale of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, it stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. This traveling memorial stands as a reminder of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War. It was made for the purpose of helping heal and rekindle friendships and to allow people the opportunity to visit loved ones in their hometown who otherwise may not be able to make the trip to Washington
The Wall will be set up on the westside of Hummel Park at Charleston Pavillion in Plainfield.
